Maybe it's just me but for some reason some songs by the Naked and Famous remind me of blink. If they get an indie producer I hope they have some songs that sound kinda like "a stillness" or "all of this"

No offense to the OP, because opinions are opinions, but I never will understand people saying that Blink's Untitled/Self-Titled is their favorite. How can you possibly listen to Dude Ranch and think anything other than that being their best album?

Boggles the mind

But seriously though, great interview and can't wait for the rest. I'd like to know what Mark's current definition of "edgier" means, but hopefully it's for the better.

Dude Ranch is an amazing punk rock album, but the writing on S/T is leagues ahead

Multiple producers can work for some artists better than others. There's a review on this very website of the latest Maroon 5 album where it was praised and on the other hand one for Dirty Work where it was condemned.

If it seems uncohesive, what's the betting they pick the best one for the NEXT album?

If they went for a more A Wilhelm Scream type of angst that would be amazing. Although I know better than to get my hopes up, the number of times I've heard bands say they're going to be louder, heavier and different then do the exact opposite is too many times to count.
